I'd have liked a different Kane. One that was scaled more like Superstars 7 Undertaker. The Slammers mold just didn't look intimidating, which Kane definitely should have.
I never did find Dr. Death or Kurggen in stores, I'd still like to add them to my collection. Anyone have them for trade PM me. Also I think I would of like to have had a re-tooled Triple H. I always wanted the one in the shorter tights but couldn't find it in stores.

A BCA legends line would have been sweet.
Hogan and Andre would have been awesome, as would Flair.
There was that Andre from the Ripped and Ruthless series, but that wasn't BCA per se, so I don't count him as a part of my BCA legends set haha.
I would have also been curious if BCA had re-done Superstars 1 as a "legends" set - using the more updated body molds for their roster. Imagine a bigger Diesel...coulda been cool.
Well there kind of was a BCA legends line, It included Andre The Giant, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldust, Captain Lou, The Undertaker, Mankind, Classy Freddie Blassie, Jimmy Superfly Snuka. They were all made in BCA forum, expect I believe they were a bit bigger than normal BCA's, but never the less they were just as playable if you didn't mind the scale.

I thought those were the early Ripped and Ruthless series?

^ It was Ripped & Ruthless. That's why I was sure to mention in my post above about Andre that I wouldn't count them as BCAs, since technically they weren't.

Ohhhhh. Weren't they slightly out of scale? and if I recall correctly, made completely out of plastic?
Yeah, the Legends/Ripped and Ruthless figures were not in any way affiliated with the BCA line.
I know that there were rumors on the Internet (reliable as always, I'm sure lol) of a possible Legends line in the BCA style, but it would have been difficult to pull off with so many big names (Hogan, Flair, Warrior, etc) signed on with WCW at the time (think 1998).
Also, there wasn't really the same sense of nostalgia back then as there was, say, five years later when the Classic Superstars figures began in the TTL/R3/RA style for Series 1.
I would've liked Andre for sure, and especially Classic repaints of some of the guys on the WWF roster (HBK, Backlund - who was in the Managers Series with The Sultan, Boss Man, etc).

Now that you say that, I'm realizing just now these would've sold terribly since they couldn't include people like Hogan,Macho,etc. because in this point in the business, the fans thought that time period was "lame" and were more into the violent, dirty attitude era.
